Control Volume
With the control volume identified, the balance can
be formulated at an instant or over a time interval.
Therefore:
4000
Mass of Air = 4000 kg/h = kmol/h = 138.70 kmol/h
28.84
The combustion reaction is:
𝑪𝑯𝟒 + 𝟐𝑶𝟐 -→ 𝟐𝑯𝟐 𝑶+ 𝑪𝑶𝟐
Therefore minimum air requirements is:
2
Min Air = = 9.5238 kmol of air/kmol of fuel.
